[MySQL] j'arrive pas à faire une requête ...

MySQL Server currently only supports nested queries of the form INSERT ... SELECT ... and REPLACE ... SELECT .... You can however use the function IN() in other contexts. Sub-selects are scheduled for implementation in Version 4.x.  
 
Meanwhile, you can often rewrite the query without a sub-select:  
 
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM table2);
 
This can be re-written as:  
 
SELECT table1.* FROM table1,table2 WHERE table1.id=table2.id;
 
The queries:  
 
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM table2);
SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT id FROM table2
                                       WHERE table1.id=table2.id);
 
Can be rewritten as:  
 
SELECT table1.* FROM table1 LEFT JOIN table2 ON table1.id=table2.id
                                       WHERE table2.id IS NULL;
 
For more complicated subqueries you can often create temporary tables to hold the subquery. In some cases, however this option will not work. The most frequently encountered of these cases arises with DELETE statements, for which standard SQL does not support joins (except in sub-selects). For this situation there are two options available until subqueries are supported by MySQL Server.  
 
The first option is to use a procedural programming language (such as Perl or PHP) to submit a SELECT query to obtain the primary keys for the records to be deleted, and then use these values to construct the DELETE statement (DELETE FROM ... WHERE ... IN (key1, key2, ...)).  
 
The second option is to use interactive SQL to construct a set of DELETE statements automatically, using the MySQL extension CONCAT() (in lieu of the standard || operator). For example:  
 
SELECT CONCAT('DELETE FROM tab1 WHERE pkid = ', tab1.pkid, ';')
  FROM tab1, tab2
 WHERE tab1.col1 = tab2.col2;
 
You can place this query in a script file and redirect input from it to the mysql command-line interpreter, piping its output back to a second instance of the interpreter:  
 
shell> mysql --skip-column-names mydb < myscript.sql | mysql mydb
 
MySQL Server 4.0 supports multi-table deletes that can be used to efficiently delete rows based on information from one table or even from many tables at the same time.
